Altitudinal organization of Karakoram geomorphic processes and depositional environments / Kenneth Hewitt.
Title: | Altitudinal organization of Karakoram geomorphic processes and depositional environments / Kenneth Hewitt. |
Author(s): | Hewitt, Kenneth. |
Date: | 1993. |
Publisher: | London: Routledge |
Abstract: | Factors of greatest importance are large gradients of precipitation with elevation, temperature regimes including frequent freeze--thaw, and duration of snow on ground. These factors play large erosional role; avalanches, glacier flow and seasonal meltwaters also play important part. Glacier ablation zones, which constitute large fraction of area, are highly relevant. |
